Often when I am watching a movie or show, I not only get caught up in the storyline, but I am often intrigued by the various characters and their fashion. In the latest episode of When Calls The Heart, titled: "Brother's Keeper," Erin Krakow wore this lovely pink dress to the Hope Valley Choir Festival and Dance.
Barbara Gregusova, who is a costume designer for When Calls The Heart shared on social media that the dress was actually purchased at the clothing store, Anthropologie. To make it work for the 1920's time period, they had to purchase two dresses and create sleeves. Barbara explained that her mother, Elana, "did her reconstruction magic since this task is sometimes not an easy one when you don’t have proper shoulder seams or armholes and it requires lots of creativity."
I was even more curious, after reading that note from the costume designer, to find Erin's dress before it was altered. Thankfully, the dress was fairly easy to find, but unfortunately, it was available last year at Anthropologie, and it is now sold out.
One of the reviewers at Anthropologie said, "It has a real vintage feel," which made me smile. Apparently, the WCTH costume designers had the same feeling.
Although the dress is sold out at Anthropologie, I was able to locate it at Poshmark (click here for size/pricing) and Nuuly (click here for size/pricing). Nuuly has several sizes available. You can rent the dress from them and choose to buy it if you are happy with it.
I hope you enjoyed seeing Erin's dress before and after! Look for the next all-new episode of When Calls The Heart - Sunday night on the Hallmark Channel!
God's Blessings to you all!

I read somewhere about dolls’ clothings look like that dress
ReplyDeleteFascinating.
ReplyDeleteI love the WCTH version rather than the original. Elizabeth looks feminine and soft in it.
ReplyDeletePretty in pink! 💕
ReplyDeleteI love the outfits Barbara creates. The blouse Elizabeth has on in the final scene last week (6/16) when she expresses her feelings to Nathan looks familiar - any insights?
ReplyDeleteI agree, that white blouse is very pretty; I love the exquisite detail. Erin wore the same top in Season 8 when she rejected Nathan (see here)... so I'm not sure if it was something that could be purchased at that time or if the wardrobe designers had it made specially for Erin.
DeleteIt reminds me of the clothing brand - LoveShackFancy. You can see some of their lovely blouses currently available - here, here, and here.
However, I must warn, they are all really pricey! But if it is designer, it is likely this brand or Rebecca Taylor.
Sometimes, I see good deals on these brands at Poshmark and Ebay.
Hope that helps! Blessings, Net
